Expanding singleValueExtendedProperty not working when retrieving Event details - microsoft-graph-api

I am trying to retrieve custom property value for an event using Microsoft Graph.
The custom property was created by an Outlook Office.js Add-ing
Here is request
/v1.0/me/events/{id}?$expand=singleValueExtendedProperties($filter=id eq 'String {00020329-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} Name myCusProp')
This returns a successful response from Graph but it does not return the singleValueExtendedProperty. The Outlook add-in, however, is still able to retrieve the property value from the same Event.

----Update 1 - office.js code-----
This is office-js/outlook-add-in code reference above.
The custom property value can be read here without an issue.
const item = Office.context.mailbox.item;
item.loadCustomPropertiesAsync(asyncResult => {
if (asyncResult.status == Office.AsyncResultStatus.Succeeded) {
let customProps = asyncResult.value;
customProps.set("myCusProp", "google.com");
customProps.saveAsync(asyncResult => {
if (asyncResult.status == Office.AsyncResultStatus.Succeeded) {
item.loadCustomPropertiesAsync(asyncResult => {
const customProps = asyncResult.value;
const myCusProp = customProps.get("myCusProp");
})
}
});
}
});


From documentation:
id eq 'String {00020329-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} Name cecp-<add-in id from manifest>'
Instead of myCusProp use cecp-/* add-in id from manifest */
Add-in id is the guid from manifest, this response has a custom properties as JSON.

Graph: Attendee automatically accepts event invitation

not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I wish to add a meeting with attendees into the organizer's calendar, then have the Exchange automatically send meeting invites to attendees. I want the attendees to be able to accept, decline, etc the invite as per the behaviour in Outlook, but my requests currently have the attendee automatically accept the invitation upon adding the event. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

It can happen in two cases.
Outlook automatically accepts all meeting requests on behalf of groups. You can accept, tentatively accept, or decline meeting requests for user calendars only.
The second case is that user set up Outlook to automatically accept meetings.
Check Outlook->File->Options->Calendar->Automatic accept or decline

Can't update the names of event attendees using the Microsoft Graph API

The following has been tried using the Microsoft Graph API Graph Explorer to eliminate any third-party causes. There is an existing event in an Outlook calendar:

The attendee's name was not known at the time the event was created. attendee#example.com was given which produced an attendee whose name and email address were both attendee#example.com. Later, the attendee's name became known. A patch request is sent to the organizer's calendar through Microsoft Graph API to update the event with the goal of overwriting the attendee's name, but leaving the email address as is.

Should I expect the attendee's name to be updated? Is there another way to do it?

Getting specific event version via Event Message

We are trying to show all the event details about an event message, we are tracking multiple messages, some are eventMessage.
When trying to access the event relationship on the eventMessage we always get the same event for all messages in the conversation.
Therefore, the original event message shows the latest event properties (start and end time, location, etc.)
I've tried to use the Microsoft Graph Explorer to see if there is any way to get a specific event item by using the changeKey of the item itself.
Sadly, with no success.
For example, when trying to access all messages within a conversation by filtering with the conversation id and expanding the event relationship
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages/?$filter=conversationId eq '<ConversationId>='&$expand=Microsoft.Graph.EventMessage/Event
We always get the same event for all messages.

In the provided case, the start and end time should have been changed.
When accessing the webUrl property, we get the expected result.

Fail to use Graph API to create events which is imported from Google

I import some events to my Outlook Calendar via an ics file which were created in Google Calendar. The import is a success, but I find these event objects are different from the other events I create via Outlook UI.
Using Graph Explorer I see that originalStartTimeZone and originalEndTimeZone in imported event are tzone://Microsoft/Custom and recurrenceTimeZone is an empty string.

Besides, when I use this event object as the request body of Create Event API, it returns this error:
{
"error": {
"code": "TimeZoneNotSupportedException",
"message": "A valid TimeZone value must be specified. The following TimeZone value is not supported: ''.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "69f1a5de-1dbe-4caa-a996-15dc9190380c",
"date": "2019-03-13T13:37:24"
}
}
}
Is this a bug with importing .ics files or is it a limitation of the API?

The answer is the same as I provided to your question Can't create a all-day repeated via Graph API:
You're posting the entire object, including several read-only properties. This will always result in a failure of some kind.
When working with Microsoft Graph (most any REST API actually), you should only submit the properties you want to set.
For the event above, you'd send something like this:
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/events
{
"isReminderOn": false,
"subject": "Every Tue.",
"importance": "normal",
"sensitivity": "normal",

},

}
For future reference, there is also a published list supported time zones in the documentation.

Microsoft Graph delta: recurring calendar events returning incorrect start/end

I have an app that loads calendar items into a database, and needs to stay in sync with the given user's calendar. Unfortunately, when querying Microsoft Graph for a given date range using Delta tokens, the original event's data is being returned. However, if the Delta call is removed from the query, recurring events are returned as expected.
The call without Delta:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/calendarView?startDateTime=2018-06-26T00:00:00&endDateTime=2018-06-27T00:00:00&$select=id,subject,start,end
Returns:
{
"#odata.etag": "W/\"vDPrV1TQYUmam8nxPycXGwABJbtmSQ==\"",
"id": "AAMkADZhMjA2YTNmLTM0NDktNDYyNy05Njk2LTRjNThhMDZkZDBmOQFRAAgI1dr3wqKAAEYAAAAAY_l4isQ6OkOWdkEvK3rrDQcAvDPrV1TQYUmam8nxPycXGwAAAAABDQAAvDPrV1TQYUmam8nxPycXGwAAAtcOVAAAEA==",
"subject": "Daily recurring event",
"start": {
"dateTime": "2018-06-26T14:30:00.0000000",
"timeZone": "UTC"
},
"end": {
"dateTime": "2018-06-26T14:45:00.0000000",
"timeZone": "UTC"
}
}
However, when trying to add the "delta" call to the request using the same start/end dates, the event's ORIGINAL dates (and Id) are returned. Additionally, the SELECT columns are ignored, entirely.
The call with Delta:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/calendarView/delta?startDateTime=2018-06-26T00:00:00&endDateTime=2018-06-27T00:00:00&$select=id,subject,start,end

Can anyone tell me how can I get the Delta query to return the recurring event's instance, as opposed to the "seriesMaster"?

Ah, I figured it out! The delta returns the seriesMaster, but also returns the instance details (occurrence) at the end. My bad for leaving it out of the results in the original post.
The missing link:
{
"#odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.event",
"#odata.etag": "W/\"DwAAABYAAAC8M+tXVNBhSZqbyfE/JxcbAAElu2ZJ\"",
"seriesMasterId": "AAMkADZhMjA2YTNmLTM0NDktNDYyNy05Njk2LTRjNThhMDZkZDBmOQBGAAAAAABj6XiKxDo6Q5Z2QS8reusNBwC8M_tXVNBhSZqbyfE-JxcbAAAAAAENAAC8M_tXVNBhSZqbyfE-JxcbAAAC1w5UAAA=",
"type": "occurrence",
"id": "AAMkADZhMjA2YTNmLTM0NDktNDYyNy05Njk2LTRjNThhMDZkZDBmOQFRAAgI1dr3wqKAAEYAAAAAY_l4isQ6OkOWdkEvK3rrDQcAvDPrV1TQYUmam8nxPycXGwAAAAABDQAAvDPrV1TQYUmam8nxPycXGwAAAtcOVAAAEA==",
"start": {
"dateTime": "2018-06-26T14:30:00.0000000",
"timeZone": "UTC"
},
"end": {
"dateTime": "2018-06-26T14:45:00.0000000",
"timeZone": "UTC"
}
},
Note that the "type" = "occurrence", and the "seriesMasterId" points back to the seriesMaster's Id field. This contains the correct start/end information for the event.
